Mintel

2025.0

All evidence

Summary

This Mintel market intelligence report provides an overview of snacking behaviour and attitudes among UK consumers in 2025. It likely draws on proprietary survey data and retail sales figures to characterise trends in snack consumption, including the roles of health consciousness, convenience, and value for money. As an industry report rather than a peer-reviewed study, its findings reflect market research methodology and should be interpreted accordingly.

UK applicability

The report is directly focused on the UK consumer market and is likely to be relevant to food manufacturers, retailers, and policymakers concerned with dietary habits, food environment design, and public health nutrition in the UK context.

Key measures

Consumer purchase frequency; snack category preferences; motivational drivers (health, convenience, indulgence); demographic segmentation; market size and spend estimates

Outcomes reported

The report likely measures UK consumer snacking frequency, motivations, product preferences, and purchasing behaviour across demographic segments. It may also examine attitudes towards health, indulgence, convenience, and sustainability in snack choices.
